About this property

The house has a kitchen with dining area, a seating area with sofa bed, one double room and a bathroom. The exterior is characterized by a swimming pool (11 x 5 meters & 1,5 meter deep) & a mediterranean garden where guests can relax or enjoy alfresco meals.

Wonderful garden !

The place has wonderful garden and owner was kind to give us guide around town. We went to Mt. Etna up to 3000 meters takes about little less than one hour to go up to cable car station. Best place to visit Mr. Etna. I recommend that you should try tour near by attractions like Taormina. Also you can find local restourant those are walking distance and the place is reasonable and good.

Katastrophale Lage!

Die Bilder in der Annonce spiegeln die Unterkunft sehr realistisch wieder. Was allerdings nicht erwähnt wird, ist die Tatsache, dass die Immobilie an einer sehr stark befahrenen Strasse liegt. Erholsame Stunden am Pool sind unmöglich, da ständig LKW's und Motorräder vorbei donnern. Am Pool fehlt ein Sonnenschirm. Bei über 40 Grad ist man dazu gezwungen, ständig unter einem Baum zu liegen. Die Ausstattung der Küche lässt stark zu wünschen übrig. Es fehlt ein Backofen und vor allem eine Kaffeemaschine. Das Bad ist mindestens 40 Jahre alt und die Armaturen kaum noch zu bedienen. Ferner hätte ich mir für eine Unterkunft in dieser Preisklasse ein TV mit Sat-Programmen erhofft. Die Stühle auf der Terasse sind zwingend zu ereuern, da ein gemütliches Sitzen darauf nicht möglich ist. Bei einigen Stühlen ist die Sitzfläche beschädigt und die zur Verfügung gestellten Auflagen sind nicht passend. Was uns allerdings am meisten gestört hat war das ständige Bellen von zwei Hunden aus dem Nachbarhaus, welches uns schon morgens um sechs aus dem Bett getrieben hat.

Agréable maison

La maison est en-soi Une belle maison avec un jardin magnifique . Sa localisation est intéressante et nous a permis de rayonner entre Catane et Taormina et l’Etna. La petite ville s’anime un peu le soir en Août. Seul bémol mais nous le savions: pas de climatisation et les nuits peuvent être chaudes. Il y a eu bcp de bruit car de gros travaux de terrassement était en cours juste à côté et cela a produit des nuisances sonores importantes. Mais nos hôtes n’y étaient pour rien évidemment.

Very nice location

We stayed a week at this place. The accommodation is very nice, the huge garden perfect for relaxing and kids! The equipment in the kitchen is basic, which wa totally fine with us as we only had breakfast there. It‘s a good location for day trips in the eastern part of the island. Defently a recommendation for this holiday house.

Schöne Ferienwohnung mit viel Platz draussen

Die Beschreibung wie auch die Fotos entsprechen sehr der Realität. Die Wohnung ist vernünftig im 'Schuss' und sehr sauber. Der Hausvermieter war sehr aufmerksam, hilfsbereit und beantwortete Fragen umgehend. Die Ferienwohnung liegt zentral an einer befahrenen Nebenstrasse, nachts jedoch wird es sehr ruhig. Für Kochfans: Gute Messer sind leider eine Mangelware.

Grandiose Gartenanlage Etnablick von der Dachterrasse

Die Villa liege direkt an einer Hauptverkehrsstrasse je nach Tageszeit viel Lärm 3 Restaurants problemlos zu Fuß erreichbar Wer kochen möchte sollte sich Arbeitsmesser mitbringen Alles in Allem könnte die Austattung der Küche, Badezimmersteckdose etc etwas neuer für den Preis sein aber alles ist sehr sauber und der Empfangswein war gut Die Gastgeber sehr nett hilfsbereit zurückhaltend Der Garten und die Terasse sind umso schöner

Traumhaft grün

Es ist ein wunderschönes Haus mit tollem Garten für Kinder und sehr netten Gastgebern. Ich empfehle auch das kleine Café am Strand für ein Cornetto mit Cappuccino.
